Cameroon

Cameroon’s development strategy has involved substantial public spending on infrastructure and economic activity, with recent budgets reflecting increased financing needs to support growth across transport, energy and public services. While infrastructure investment aims to stimulate non-oil sector growth, Cameroon still faces challenges related to governance, liquidity constraints and lingering infrastructure gaps in road networks and utilities. Continued reforms to strengthen institutional capacity, improve public-private partnerships and mobilize external financing are central to enhancing the quality and impact of infrastructure spending in driving inclusive development.
